Believe it or not, there’s probably as much choice in the South Side as anywhere else in Glasgow.

From cafes to pubs and clubs, you won’t be stuck for somewhere to go, no matter the occasion.

While you might have heard of the legendary Shed nightclub, new venues, like Rum Shack, keep springing up and add something special to this area.

The Waverley Tea Room

Tucked behind the main street in Shawlands, this cosy little haunt is ideal whatever the occasion. Enjoy delicious pub grub, an al fresco dining area, a nice cuppa or cocktails until the wee hours of the morning. The Southside favourite also offers live music and it’s usually packed on a weekend, thanks to its late license.

If you’re a big sports fan, this is your idea of heaven. Big-screen plasma TVs will mean you never miss the big game. However, when the whistle blows on the evening’s sporting events, kickback and relax the live bands and acoustic set which are regular features over the weekend. Oh, and did we mention there’s Blue Moon on tap…

If you’re looking for a fresh beer, then this is only place to go in the Southside. The Clockwork brews its own lagers and ales in an on-site microbrewery, and if you’re lucky enough to visit this fine establishment when the sun is out, you can sit out in the luxurious beer garden.

The Rum Shack

A newly-opened spot in the Southside, the Rum Shack has impressed. With delicious Caribbean served throughout the day, by the time night comes, the atmosphere changes pace. As the lights go down and the live music begins to play, why not try one of their many rums on offer.

Buddy’s BBQ & Burgers

Remember when the burger craze first hit Glasgow? Well in those three or four years, Buddy’s is the venue that comes out on top. Originally a takeaway shop, Buddy’s opened a bigger restaurant in December 2012 and haven’t looked back. With an American diner feel to the interior, wash down your delicious burgers with a craft beer.
